Journal ArticleDOI

Growth stimulation and fruit yield improvement of greenhouse tomato plants by inoculation with pseudomonas putida or Trichoderma atroviride: Possible role of indole acetic acid (IAA)

TL;DR: The reduction in the detrimental effect of IAA on root elongation could be associated with a reduced ethylene production resulting from a decrease of its precursor 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid by microbial degradation in the rhizosphere and/or by ACC deaminase activity present in both microorganisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multifaceted beneficial effects of rhizosphere microorganisms on plant health and productivity

TL;DR: Plant growth promoting microorganisms and biological control agents are shown to possess secondary beneficial effects that would increase their usefulness as bio-inoculants, regardless of the need for their primary function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Blue light added with red LEDs enhance growth characteristics, pigments content, and antioxidant capacity in lettuce, spinach, kale, basil, and sweet pepper in a controlled environment.

TL;DR: The addition of B light is essential with R light to enhance growth, pigment content, and antioxidant capacity of the vegetable plant in a controlled environment and indicates that the percentage of B withR light is plant species dependent.
Journal ArticleDOI

Editorial: Signaling in the Phytomicrobiome

TL;DR: Over the last decade the authors have come to appreciate that there are close relationships between all “higher” organisms and communities of microbes, and the redefinition of Karl August Möbius’ biocenosis concept into the holobiont concept.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antagonist Microorganisms with the Ability to Control Pythium Damping-off of Tomato Seeds in Rockwool

TL;DR: A total of 237 microorganisms were isolated from five different greenhouse tomato growing media and Pseudomonas marginalis was the only microorganism that significantly reduced damping-off caused by both pathogens.
